A group of units in a battle.
Units are the foundational building blocks of your military campaign. You will begin each game with a contingent of early modern units placed strategically on your selected Homeland nation; the selection of which is entirely dependent upon your nation’s military doctrine, resources, and terrain.
Each unit is individually named and consists of a division of troops. Units are located on the map with identifying icons, and individual units can, and should, be stacked along with other units in order to amplify their military strength.
Beginning your game with Tier 1 Technology from the early-modern period of the 1980s and early 90s, subsequent research will allow you to build and mobilize units from the mid-modern period of the 2000s (Tier 2), and lastly, with ultra-modern units (Tier 3).
There are 11 types of units, each fit for a different role (with the exception of Seasons, which are specific units that can be researched with Security Council membership and required points in the respective seasons): Infantry, Armored, Support, Helicopters, Fighters, Heavies, Naval, Submarines, Missiles, Officers and Seasons. Only infantry other than Special Forces can conquer territory.
Infantry[]
Infantry Units are your boots on the ground which will serve as a foundation to the composition of your army. Each branch of Infantry research gives you dedicated abilities and strategies which are required to play them. Will you start with Airmobile Infantry with the intention to cover great distances? Or will you focus on Mechanized Infantry to reach the last Tier as fast as possible? All infantry units but Special Forces can conquer territory.
Motorized Infantry[]
A basic infantry unit, mobile and strong in defense. It always takes 1 minute 30 seconds to research its basic tier, regardless of doctrine.
Mechanized Infantry[]
A lightly armored unit that is more optimized against armor and mobile warfare.
[]
A unit trained for naval combat. Naval infantry can embark and disembark on provinces without harbors (but have a coastline).
Airmobile Infantry[]
An infantry unit that can air assault (rapidly move with the use of helicopters) within the range of an operational accessible Air Base or Airfield.
Special Forces[]
An infantry unit that has stealth, air assault and amphibious capabilities when upgraded to the required tier.
National Guard[]
Infantry that is the most cost-effective for strength. However, it is also the weakest infantry unit.
Insurgents[]
Can only be mobilized by Local Insurgency or Rogue State. It has amphibious and storm position capabilities.
Enforcers[]
Stronger versions of Insurgents, having improved anti-air and stealth capabilities, can only be mobilized by The Chosen and New Caliphate
Armoured[]
To accompany your Infantry, Armored Units are a solid choice to add heavier weapons or transport convoys. Amphibious Combat Vehicles will be a perfect accompaniment if you have already invested in Marine Infantry. Otherwise, you can opt for Tank Destroyers in anticipation of the Russian's heavy-hitting Main Battle Tanks.
Combat Recon Vehicle[]
An armored unit that can reveal stealth ground units and over-average sight range.
Armored Fighting Vehicle[]
A vehicle that is not affected by terrain. Optimized for fighting Infantry units.
Amphibious Combat Vehicle[]
A naval version of the Armoured fighting vehicle with amphibious capabilities.
Main Battle Tank[]
A well armored and well armed unit that can combat both Infantry and Armored units equally, but does not have any anti-aircraft capabilities.
Tank Destroyer[]
A defensive lightly armored unit that is especially optimized to fight armored units whilst being much less powerful against infantry.
Support[]
Towed Artillery[]
An artillery unit best used for preparing assaults on fortified positions
Mobile Artillery[]
A mobile version of the towed artillery, slightly stronger in statistics than its towed counterpart
Multiple Rocket Launcher[]
A long-range, mobile artillery unit that provides artillery support to a wide area. Equally effective against Infantry and Armoured units.
Mobile Anti-Air Vehicle[]
A low-range air support vehicle, providing anti-air capabilities to armies in its range
Mobile SAM Launcher[]
A mid-range anti-air support unit, launching surface-to-air missiles at high-flying planes and fighters. Will not engage low-flying helicopters
Theater Defense System[]
A long-range anti-missile system, can engage aircraft, but will not engage low flying helicopters
Mobile Radar[]
A ground-based radar able to detect a wide range of units. Has 0.5 damage to any unit, with a low sight range but high radar range
Helicopters (Rotary Wing)[]
Helicopter Gunship[]
A medium-armed helicopter specialized in anti-infantry combat
Attack Helicopter[]
A heavily armed helicopter specializing in anti-armor combat
ASW Helicopter[]
A specialized helicopter designed to detect and destroy submarines.
Fighters (Fixed Wing Aircraft)[]
Fighters will become the foundation of your airforce, and will wreak havoc if left to their own demise. Agile and deadly is the name of the game here. Will you research the Strike Fighter path and use Support Unit types for Air Defenses? Or will you split your precious resources and time into Strike Fighters and Air Superiority Fighters?
Air Superiority Fighter[]
A fighter that is specialized in air-to-air combat
[]
An Air Superiority fighter which is able to take off and land on aircraft carriers.
Stealth Air Superiority Fighter[]
An Air Superiority fighter which is invisible to most radars and units. Does not declare war when flying through foreign airspace.
Strike Fighter[]
A fighter that is specialized for air-to-surface combat.
[]
A Strike Fighter which is able to take off and land on aircraft carriers.
Stealth Strike Fighter[]
A Strike Fighter which is invisible to most radars and units. Does not declare war when flying through foreign airspace.
UAV[]
An unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. It does not, by default, declare war when entering foreign airspace. Later versions use steal technology and are armed for air-to-surface combat
Heavies (Fixed Wing Aircraft)[]
Heavy aircraft units will bring serious damage to whatever is found beneath them, be it Units or Cities, Land or Sea. You can tell that they left their mark by looking at the damage to Morale.
[]
An anti-naval and anti-submarine aircraft.
AWACS[]
An early warning aircraft fitted with a long-range radar. Can detect and map a wide variety of units. Has no attack or defence capabilities
